The Kii PeninsulaA sacred land of prayer

Kii Peninsula - A sacred land of prayer

Since ancient times, the mountainous Kii Peninsula, which spans the prefectures of Mie, Nara, and Wakayama, has been considered a special region because of the belief that Shinto and Buddhist deities dwell in its heavily forested and rugged natural landscape.

The Kii Mountains have had a significant influence on the development and exchange of unique Japanese religious ideas and culture throughout history because of its amazing natural abundance. Key locations of cultural development in the peninsula include “Kumano,” which is considered a pure land of reborn belief; “Ise,” an important location for the Shinto faith; Mt. Koya, a sacred place of Buddhism; and both “Yoshino” and “Omine” as holy locations in the Shugendo faith, which combines Shinto and Buddhist beliefs into its practices.
“Thus, it became a unique region with a mystical atmosphere, a place where one can perceive the universe, nature, and oneself, dispelling the limitations of time and space. The influence of nature in the Kii Peninsula has truly created a profound and sacred area that is open to the prayers of all.
